I am writing today to say THANK YOU to the KHEF for fulfilling my grant request this year! The
KHEF has been incredibly generous to the Physical Education department the past several years! I have been able to purchase much needed equipment, and have enjoyed being able to get these items in "rainbow sets". The rainbow sets include equipment in each color of the rainbow. They are fantastic because they help with classroom management, and they look terrific. The student's eyes LIGHT UP when they walk in the gym and see this awesome equipment that they get to use! I have been organizing my class by rainbow colors for the past 10 years, and it works very well!
This year I was granted funds to purchase the rainbow set bowling pins from Gopher. I was lucky enough to receive this two weeks before the Covid-19 school closure. I am so glad the students were able to enjoy the bowling pins this year. I am looking forward to using them for many MANY years to come!
Check out the activities we had time to do before the school closure:
Guard the Castle Game:
Bowling with Pre-K class:
Battleship Throwing Game:
Red pins were used for an obstacle course during the Kids Heart Challenge event on Valentine's Day.
I love the white mat that comes with each set of pins.
All set up for the game!
Ready to play Battleship.
Last year I received the purple and orange MATS to complete my rainbow set for mats.

In the spirit of field day, this week's challenge for my P.E. students is to build an obstacle course at home! Take a look at the videos and directions below. Have fun!
Build an Obstacle Course
Step 1:
Ask your parent’s permission to build an obstacle course.
Decide if it will be built outside or inside.
Step 2:
Gather items to be used as obstacles. Look in your house, garage, or use things that you find in your yard. Here are some examples: Sticks, twigs, trees or logs, Boxes, Paper plates or stepping stones, Sidewalk Chalk, Pool noodles, Swing set, jungle gym, or trampoline if you have one, Balls, jump ropes or hula hoops
Step 3:
Decide how you will use your items. Will you go around, across, over, under or through the item?
Step 4:
Create a start and a finish line.
Step 5:
Try out your obstacle course! Ask your family members to time you to see how fast you can complete it. Ask your family members to also join in the fun and try out your obstacle course!

Watch this Read Aloud of “Sally Sore Loser” to learn about good sportsmanship!
Practice good sportsmanship by playing the game Hot Potato with your family. Choose an item to be your “potato”, sit in a circle, and play this music. Pass the potato nicely around the circle. When the music stops, whoever has the “potato” is out, and sits in the middle of the circle until the next time the music stops. Each time the music stops, switch with the person who is sitting in the middle.
